It's obvious you have never lived in Texas or SoCal.

Mexicans regularly knocking on my door to sell me chorizo or enchiladas. (I guess you can say they are trying to turn me into a Mexican from the inside out)

It's a bigotted statement, period to single out any religion.

Anti-semitism, just against Jehovah Witness rather than Jews.

   

Once is enough... word will get around.

When I live downtown Vancouver in 97, my neighbor was JW.

   

I have a very friendly JW-lady coming to my door once every 6 weeks Irun into her in the store too, all's good. She knows she cant convert me, and I thought it was pretty funny that she came to my door yesterday to invite me to their "meeting" today. I said "you know I am not coming!" and I laughed. "yeah, but I still wanted you to know, maybe you will change your mind". "You know I won't "

Later I ran into her at the store.

Its a small town here. I am friendly, although sometimes its quite annoying. Still, I refuse to get rude. Who knows who she knows? Maybe one day, I will need her...

   

They don't bother. They aren't NEAR as pushy and overbearing as they used to be. In fact, I don't find them to be at all. I let them hand my their little reading, do their 5 second, "Just wanted to leave this with you" spiel, and add it to the fire starter pile.

No harm, no foul.

   

They have to pay for those pamphlets themselves.. my brother buys them and their book to give to potential suckers... he almost got into financial problems over it.

   

It's bigoted to not like people coming to your door to proselytize you? Wow, they didn't tell me that at the last PC meeting, so I thought it was OK. I don't care if it's Muslims, Jews, Christians, Jains, Buddhists, Animists, Pantheists, Deists, Vodouisants or what have you. I actually share some of the beliefs of some of the above groups listed, but that doesn't mean I want them proselytizing. But then, none of those listed have ever come to my door. Just JH and the odd ISKCON.

Nor do I want people trying to sell me crap door to door. It doesn't make me a racist if I turn those people away either.

But the idea of Mexicans trying to turn you into one by wanting to sell you food, that's a good one. You'd think they would have all turned into white people by now, with all that McD's and stuff they eat.

   

I know a hard-working normal guy, for some reason got mixed up with the Jehovah's witnesses they had him standing on street corners and going door-to-door....... they had him somehow believing that the end of the world was coming and the Jehovah witnesses were the chosen few who were going to go to heaven .......

He quit working to stand on street corners and eventually lost his house and a duplex .......they had him so brainwashed that he believed losing everything was what God wanted.....

Funny when he lost everything and become an alcoholic the Jehovah witnesses didn't want him going door to door and giving away awake magazines on the street corner...........they seem to pray on people that have mental weaknesses and use them to push their religion

   

Interesting personal story.

Also I rather laughed at some of the humourous responses here, pretty witty.

   

Just put a sign on your lawn that says "My dog thinks your enchiladas are tasty."

   

That sounds awesome!

   

Show up at the door with Fleshlight on, explain to them how you just asked Jehovah for a Live Partner, invite them in. No matter what they do, you Win!

   

They showed up a couple years ago just before Easter and invited me to the Kingdom Hall for a celebration of the death of Jesus Christ.
I shouted out
OH MY GOD, HE'S DEAD??? WE'RE FUCKED!!! NOW WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO?

I wish I had a camera for the expressions on their faces. They left and never came again, I live right across the street from the hall.

   

I like Jehovah's Witnesses (Jehovah's Nitwits, we call 'em back home). The loosest girl in my hometown was a Jehovah's Nitwit. Nancy was her name (still is, I suppose). We all called her "Drop-your-pants Nance"...half the highschool lost their virginity to her. She was a conversion machine. Speaking of machines, there were numerous rumours involving her washing machine.

   

I'm not anti anything. I'm pro privacy. Don't know if our hall gets more out of towners than other places or what. But it's every week, and never the same people. So you tell them you're not interested, and next week guess what?

Your statement doesn't make sense. No other religion has ever harrassed me at home or anywhere else.

Don't want to put up a no soliciting sign. I have recieved two complete kitchen knife sets for free from solicitors. "Let me demonstrate this vacuum cleaner, and if you don't buy it, I'll give you this knife set." Yup, they've tried that on me twice.

Of course I let them demonstrate. Got my living room vacuumed and a free knife set!

So yea, singling out the JW's makes perfect sense.

   

Not bothering to answer the door usually solves a lot of problems. Beats getting into another pointless round of "Jesus is gonna get you!" with a couple of the true believers.
